About Us
Volunteers
The contribution of volunteers at Royal Rehab is priceless.
Throughout our facility and in our clients’ homes across Sydney, our volunteers generously give their time and share their talents.
Volunteering is a rewarding experience which makes a difference to people’s lives and impacts the person who they support. Every moment has the potential to benefit the quality of life and health outcomes of people who are living with a life changing illness or injury.

What we ask of volunteers
Apart from your enthusiasm, compassion and discretion, we ask for a regular time commitment. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly is fine, but consistency is essential. Different volunteer roles have varying minimum time commitments, starting at one hour per week.
“I get more from volunteering than I give. I have learnt so much from Jamie particularly the value of patience. He never gives up, even when things get difficult. I forget my own disabilities when I am with him.” – Edwin Ikwu, volunteer.
